Race prep
I did a 12 mile paddle on the river this morning. There are practice runs daily, mostly for the teams that have had to rent boats. There is a team from Japan for crying out loud. We had an informal meet and greet this afternoon. Everyone was introduced to much applause but there was no beer or anything. I think the Germans were baffled. There are a bunch of Germans. There is a team of old ladies that I think I can beat if I push it. Tomorrow is the gear and boat check. The weather has been OK but I miss the heat and humidity of home. The only time I ever sweat is in the shower. It's been mostly goosebumps.

Dave, those goosebumps might keep you awake and paddling on your race. No beer, what the heck do they drink up there! The meet and greet sounded like fun even without the alcohol! I know you will be glad to start, so you can get it done. Thinking about you and your race
